Yes. Dont come to this forum and pray that the merit system gets abolished. Then one day (in an eternity) your wish may get granted. Then you will be able to resume shitposting to rank up like the old days - where third world bottomfeeders used to use this forum to feed the people of their family. Grin

Would posting useful content be acceptable to you, or would you prefer to rank up without having to?

He clearly does not want to post anything and wants everything done by magic charms. Let him be in his own wonderland and play with his delusions and toys.

Please don't take me wrong... but whenever i see some senior members like you with fixed default merits (500, 250,100) that means they did not progress at all, you need to be helping the community and participating in the valuable discussions to earn the merits.

For you target is same like any junior member you need 250 merits only to rank up, which should not be difficult for a member who's in this business since 2012. Whereas for junior members like us we have to earn merits and wait for the activity too.

And seniors members like you have more responsibility in making bitcointalk helpful and be an example and encouragement for us. Even if you don't become legendary should be very proud of yourself being part of this big community since that long.

These threads ( with very few exceptions ) become spam fests, and they should be locked, and any merit awarded in them should be stripped from the poster, and the awarder imho.

Yes, and the worst are the ones where the member beats their chest, praising the merit system while simultaneously declaring that...however, I don't care if I ever receive merit. But we both know they damn well do and created the thread for the purpose of getting some.

It's a good mechanism to keep the worst accounts at a low rank forever, though they could trade merits. However I have yet to see a significant decrease in the number of posts that I have to skip over in order to find something worth reading.

1. Give merit to people who create threads and topics are becoming popular. If the topic has 10 pages of comments - then to add 5 merits.
2. If a member has more than 100 activity on the forum is to enroll him 10 merits. More than 200 activity, give 100 merits.
I don't see any other options at the moment. Or buy merit. Personally, I am against such practices. It seems to me that the system of merit, unfortunately made this forum for many people commercial enterprise. We need new ideas to solve this problem, because I repeat that there are no other ways to increase their rank, in addition to buying merit at the moment.

Cristal clear, you don't even understand how the merit system works and yet you want to change it already, obviously for your own benefit.
No, the most popular threads are commonly useless and full of spam. We don't need to give merits to them, but erasing them should be the right choice. Indeed, they have been erased from the last week, as you can see.
The activity doesn't mean quality. That's precisely why the merit system was implemented. Now you are asking for the forum to help you to rank-up with no effort at all.
I've dug into your posting activity and you are not a shitposter, so my recommendation is for you to erase this thread as soon as possible, for you are going directly to the "ignore" list of many in here.
I understand how the merit system can feel unfair for many people, but take it as a challenge, as users like DdmrDdmr or Bitmover. They have been rewarded with many many merits due to their activity, highly useful.
And, besides, this is not a matter to be obsessed with, unless your only interest in the forum is to earn some money. So don't be obvious. The people really interested in learning never talk about merit, for they don't even concern.

Thank you for not thinking I'm the Creator of shit posts. I am not going to delete this topic as I really think this issue is relevant and this system is not perfect. I may be wrong about the solution to this problem, but in any case, I think that the merit system should be revised or improved.

So you really think that after I created this topic, and I'm talking about this problem, I'm gonna go buy some credit? And what would my account be painted trust or banned? If you don't believe me that buying achievements is pretty easy, then unfortunately you're in the pink glasses?

I'm getting fed up with all this crap about merits being bought. I don't sell merit or trade it, and I'm sure I'm not the only member that has the same policy.

If you don't like the merit system, then you know what to do - FUCK OFF.

This is probably the first time I have sworn in this forum, and I hope that all you whingeing scammers will take the hint.

I think you're overreacting. Those things that I described - this reality. I'm not saying that all accounts from full member and above the sales, and they sell the merits, but let's face it and you will see that all is not as fabulous as you are telling. And since this topic is raised more than once, maybe it's because people are dissatisfied with something? Huh

Your pointing accusations without proper proof of it's existence. Beside's there is nothing we can do, you only made them realize that merit is successful against a hunter like you.

There are so many privilige in higher rank, but if you have greater rank you have also greater responsibilities. We're still lucky we dont have that pressure yet. Grin

What proof do you need? If I have 10 merits in an hour, is that proof? Everybody know that? You reproach me for being a part of the bounty of the company, and you're part of it! Can watch that I on this forum am already quite a large number of time, and I have no merit, so as I not even not have been arguing promote its account, if would I wanted to, then already would bought merits.

So accusation like that is the answer to your problem? If you can have 10 merit in just 1 hour then show it to me?7 But your not capable of it, even if you post 1 million if it's not worthy to them, you will not receive any merit.

Look at this guy https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitmover-1554927 he have more merits than his activity, did he buy that merit?.

lately, the topic of Merit has been the most trending discussion.

Why should ~~complain~~ about the merit system

Lately? it has been a trending topic for almost 3 months now if I remember it correctly since it is implemented.

Quote from: Skroojee on April 24, 2018, 05:16:20 AM

I agree with you that on the one hand it protects the forum from unnecessary spam, but on the other hand it really makes life difficult for the beginners.
I didn't see the merit given to anyone for free. Often this all bought. This is done as follows. Created a topic, for this topic you someone gives you a few merit points that you have bought. Preferably a bit of credit for one theme, not to catch a ban.

Seems like you know someone that is buying merit, so it would be better if you have some proofs of that so mods and DT members can take necessary action against them.

If you are confident in your posting skills then you should not worry about getting merit as a newbie, there are a lot of newbies that earned a lot of merit in this forum, you just don't see them because the number of members that don't get merited outweighs those who are being merited.

You me not so realize.

I'm not accusing everyone that they sell the merit, but if I need the merit, I have it will appear in the next hour. Make your conclusions.

That's precisely why we need a "report merit abuse" button, but the merit system is working just fine.

We are Bitcoin!

The theme behind merit is to identify quality posts and award it for the good work. It encourage the receiver to spam less and be more constructive in their thoughts. At-least that's what I personally feel after receiving every merit.

Quote from: theymos on January 24, 2018, 06:00:11 PM

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

What you are saying is create topics, invite people to comment (possibly spam) in it and receive merits. I can bring you a topic asking how many hours someone spend on trading, has several pages of answers and most of them are from sig spammers.

My advise to you is... This is a forum and it has it's own set of rules, adopt and accept it. You will step up. It's not hard to earn. When you join a community, you observe, you learn, you give, they take, keep giving, earn respect first. Everything else will follow.

Of course spammers and other lowlifes are dissatisfied with no longer being able to earn money by polluting the forum with random crap. That’s the merit system working as intended.

If you have actual proof of merit sales, post it so that the sellers can be negged.

I do get merits from merit sources "just like that".

There are only a few cases when someone sent the merit of someone just like that.

Many not few.

I have repeatedly witnessed how people wrote good themes, great and having a good meaning, topics which conducted a good analysis of coins, but unfortunately no one has given for such topics merits.

What is meritable and what is not is subjective.

Except for Investigations and Ivory Tower, of which the latter was made because of the spam.

If there were no spam, the serious discussion board wouldn't have been made. And if people didn't care so much about ranking up (to participate in signature campaigns), the merit system wouldn't have been made.
